More than 60,000 Australians are living with blood cancers including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma, and every day another 35 people are diagnosed.
Light the Night is the Leukaemia Foundation’s annual fundraising walk to help more Australians beat blood cancer, with locations of community walks now being locked in across the country.
Since 2008, families and friends have gathered across Australia to walk at Light the Night.
Last year, 30,000 Australians walked around the country, each person shining a special lantern:
· Gold, to remember a loved one
· White, for their own blood cancer journey, or
· Blue, to support others
